1 When the seventh month arrived and the Israelites were living in their towns, the people assembled in Jerusalem.

2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his priestly colleagues and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his colleagues started to build the altar of the God of Israel so they could offer burnt offerings on it as required by the law of Moses the man of God.
